Hi guys
I went to my doctor in 2015 and was referred for an internal scan which confirmed I have cysts on my ovaries. The doctor was reluctant to formally diagnose me with PCOS and advised that I was best to come off the pill and have a blood test. I was getting married in a few months, so put it off, and only went back to the doctors last week to get my blood test organised. I'm really quite scared of getting the results - I'm currently on the SW diet to try and lose 10% of my body weight (I have a BMI of 24 at the moment) to see if that helps. Me and my now-husband are TTC and have been for 9 months and I'm starting to really worry (which is probably the worst thing that I can do!) that we'll never be able to have children.
Does anyone have any prior experience of going through the diagnosis stages, and how long I should expect to wait until I hear from them? I'm 25, but very conscious that I should have had these blood tests over a year ago, so now worrying that I've left this too late.
